Whew. If anyone wanted the drama cranked up tonight, then you should be happy. Solid episode.
B Sean's look after sex had me
Its like Kevin Smith said, "everyone wants a slut, but doesn't want to know how she got there"

Very good episode
Callie Thorne has her episode to submit to the Emmys

Re: Rescue Me -- "Sheila" -- 5/5/09
Shit, I forgot this was on. My TiVo is set to record the season, but only on the non HD FX channel cause for some reason my HD FX station has never had any program info, so I have to manually set it each week and forgot today. Luckily I caught in within the first 15 minutes so I'll have 3/4 of the HD show to watch. The few minutes I saw looked really good though, can't wait to see the rest.

I thought it was very good, and I actually like the W. Sean/cancer storyline. Has real potential.
I am getting just a little weary of the 9/11 stuff. It's every week and just seems a bit overdone. The Franco angle's really getting on my nerves, and I hope
next week.

So is Franco BSing this conspiracy opinion to get ladies, or is it just a perk?
And also, I'm glad to see Tommy isn't crazy, and not the only one to see Jimmy in the video.

Re: Rescue Me -- "Sheila" -- 5/5/09
That was one crazy hell of an EPISODE! Halfway through the opening I figured it had to be a dream, but still, wow! The White Sean cancer storyline has huge potential for future drama, Black Sean realizing Colleen is a slut was hilarious, and Sheila's monologue at the end nearly had me in tears, and made me actually start liking her character instead of thinking she was just a crazy bitch. Amazing.
One more thing... I'm glad to see that the Franco 9/11 Conspiracy bullshit seems to be coming to a head soon. I really hope it ends there because it's the one thing this season I really don't care for at all. Though apparently it is the real opinion of the actor playing Franco! I'm all for asking questions but I really wish the 9/11 conspiracy theorists would just go away.

He does... I saw an article yesterday on some 9/11 "Truth" website, trying to find the link now. I found it through the FX Rescue Me forums, which I quickly had to stop reading because of the number of conspiracy theorists that seem to post there.

Re: Rescue Me -- "Sheila" -- 5/5/09
I actually find the Franco storyline to be rather interesting. Of course Franco is grieving for his fallen brothers, but who has the right to tell him what he needs to believe in? I have to think that there are a good number of FDNY members that share some of his views, but are afraid to speak out for fear of retribution. It's not that Franco is sullying the memory of the 343. Wouldn't it serve their memories more to find out what actually happened that day? Not saying I believe alot of the "conspiracies" b ut I think it makes for some intruiging storytelling.
And anyone else think that maybe Jimmy isn't dead?

I want to know how they got Michael J. Fox to be still when he was laying on Denis Leary, he even said on some show (oprah?) that the only time he's still is when he's in REM sleep.
I agree w/the Franco story line - needs to go and the W.Sean line - has potential..

Re: Rescue Me -- "Sheila" -- 5/5/09
I do find the Franco story interesting, and there do seem to be some FDNY members that share his feelings, but I suspect that like the general public, it's a very small minority. I just am worried that they're going to string this storyline out for awhile. I hope they put the literal smackdown on the whole thing soon.

Just caught up on this last night. Great, great piece of acting by Callie Thorne. Actually gave her character some depth for a change.

I thought the same thing when I saw the ep. What if he took the chance to just leave. But that would destroys the shows foundation. But this is Rescue Me, the show thats throws everything on the wall, to see what sticks.
